Re: slipper basket presentation
I dont have a pic but I just placed them in a basket, wrapped the basket with very little tulle pink ribbon around the handle and made bows on each side, and just placed the slippers in them I had 2 baskets, no cellophane or anything. Hope this helps.

Re: slipper basket presentation
Hope this helps - it was VERY time consuming though - and cost a lot for the material - oh well - we really like the way they came out
only thing is, mine are in two big laundry baskets. i wanted to wrap them up pretty and ang was nice enough to make favor tags for me, i want to wrap that around the top...keep em coming if you got em!

I wrapped each 'set' of slippers with ribbon and tied it in a knot (I don't do bows) then placed them in this basket that I got at Michaels.

azad - why don't you post a picture of what you have so far - let me see the basket and then I can give you some ideas

IMO and please do not take offense - the wicker baskets don't scream wedding - why don't you buy some fabric (the fabric mill is an awesome store) and place the basket on top of it and pull the fabric up and inside the basket and then tack it down in the middle - I think black would look nice or if you have a color that you are using throughout as a theme - try it with an unfitted sheet to get the idea (but don't tack it down of course) and see if you like it better - I think it will look more formal - I can definitely help you if you need me to ~Lauren

of course i don't take offense!!! i'm happy to hear suggestions....
only thing is the baskets are bothering me. it's how to wrap them that is annoying me. i think the fabric idea is just one more thing i don't want to do we should've eloped!

I used the wicker basket that has a handle on it. It is very difficult to wrap that kind of laundry basket, I got from AC Moore the size that I fit 45 in each basket. I tied each slipper together with a tag on it. I had 2 baskets. For total of 180 guests I had 85( the BM took some) slippers and it was enough and men were wearing them too, i got the white, pink, yellow and blue asst. so that anyone can wear them and one size fits all, cotton slippers.

Re: slipper basket presentation
Hey Ladies... I have never heard of this idea before . I was just wondering what the approx. cost was to do this? And for those of you have done it, do people really use them? Do you consider them part of the favor for the women or not? Thanks for the info Jane
